The diocese is grouped geographically into three deaneries, each consisting of a number of parishes. Each deanery is headed by a parish priest, known as a dean. The deans coordinate activities in their area's parishes, and report to the diocesan bishop. The current deaneries of the Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania are:
Frackville Deanery – Pennsylvania
Philadelphia Deanery – Delaware and Pennsylvania
Wilkes-Barre Deanery – Pennsylvania
